Hi, I’m Ron Friedman.

I’m a social psychologist who left academia for the corporate world. When I got there, I was stunned by how little the science of collaboration, motivation, and teamwork was being used.

Today, I deliver keynote presentations and write bestselling books that translate behavioral science into practical strategies leaders can use to improve teamwork, strengthen collaboration, develop better leaders, and build high-performing teams.

I've helped more than 300,000 leaders put these ideas into practice at organizations including IBM, Amazon, Trader Joe's, Boeing, Kaiser Permanente, Anheuser-Busch InBev, MassMutual, Baird, and ADP.
